Avengers: The Hunted (Avengers × Reader)

10- Welcome

You had spent the rest of the day anxious of what Hunter had thought of you earlier. Maybe you were just overthinking as you normally do? No this was gonna be terrible, he'll think you're an immature child like Tony, or maybe he's not going to talk to you anyway since you came across as rude when you left him hanging in the café, or maybe he-

*knocks on the door*

You open the living room door to find the stranger who had been occupying your thoughts stood there awkwardly, waiting to enter.

"Oh hi, um, you don't need to knock just come in whenever you like" you give way for his entry

"Y/N, hi, i just wanted to see if you were free to talk"

"Is there something wrong? I won't be suprised if Stark made you wanna quit before you even started"

He laughs, "no i just thought we could catch up on our conversation we didnt finish earlier"

The two of you sit down and talk about work, sleep, missions, Taylor Swift, Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan ,(all the important people in your life of course).

Apparently you unintentionally say something funny because he throws his head back laughing like a little kid, seeing as you speak Sarcasm and not normal english, you usually get mixed reactions depending on if people think your serious or not.

He strokes his hair back and its then you realise you had never seen him without his cap before. His hair was a sort of rich golden brown, and really brought out his facial features. You being you, start wondering what shampoo he uses and whether you should ask him for a recommendation until he speaks up.

"Y/N? You okay love?" This gives you butterflies in your stomach

"Huh, oh yeah sorry I get lost in my own world sometimes, hehe" you blush

"Dont worry thats me most of the time. So tell me about Nick Fury, what's he like?" He says with genuine curiosity. "and I still don't know how he got that eyepatch"

"Oh you don't want to know" you giggle

"Hey so, um, do only you, Steve, Tony and Bruce live here?"

"No, there's my brother Clint but he's gone to stay with his family for a couple days, you know kids and stuff, and there's Bucky and Nat but they've gone out somewhere"

"Bucky as in James Barnes, the Winter Soldier? He lives with you"

"Well I mean he's technically not the winter soldier anymore since he's recovered, or well that's what he said, but yeah don't worry he's amazing you'll love him. Him and I, we actually used to, you know"

"Date?" He reads your facial expression

"Yeah, but its all good we're friends now"

Ah, no home like the friend zone, you thought.

"So like what would happen if he turned back into the Winter Soldier? How would you change him back?"

"But he won't, because I'll never let that happen"

"Oh um sorry if I went too personal, I've just heard the things on the news, but that shouldn't be an excuse"

"It's okay, i get it. Anyways im going to get an early night, I'll show you your room"

"No its fine Tony showed me earlier, Goodnight" He makes long eye contact with you and smiles

You weren't sure who was going to break it first but you didnt want to overstay your welcome so you looked to the door, "Goodnight".
